CATS Motors, Inc. launches the New Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé Oct. 09, 2009

CATS Motors, Inc. just introduced the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class saloon in May 2009. The general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in the Philippines fulfills its commitment of offering a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models as it launches the coupé version of the new E-Class: the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé. The E-Class Coupé is the new highlight in the new model series that offers a very special combination of two attributes Mercedes-Benz brand is known for: fascination and efficiency.

Over 70 years, the compelling elegance, exclusivity and charisma of coupés with the three-pointed star on the bonnet have always exerted a special fascination. Mercedes-Benz coupés epitomize all that a refined, sporty car should be: technology, aesthetics and appointments forming a stylish and harmonious whole. These coupés have always been offered in a number of vehicle categories and in different forms: city coupés, touring coupés and sports coupés. These two-door models have one important factor in common: the Stuttgart-based firm has always made a point of creating coupés which are much more than just saloon models with a shorter rear section. In fact, Mercedes-Benz coupés, past and present, automotive classics which are sought-after collector’s items. “A Mercedes never looks old, even after 30 years on the road,“ says Mercedes-Benz head of design, Gorden Wagener. “...that’s what we call life-long design.“

When it’s out on the road and with its sporty attractive looks, it sends the driver’s pulse even higher. Its youthful character is defined by sporty handling, responsive agility and impressive power delivery. These qualities are a consequence of features such as the newly developed suspension with selective damper control, the more direct steering ratio and the new, more powerful engines which are more economical than their predecessors.

Sporty and elegant two-door models have occupied a permanent place in the mid-range model series (today’s E-Class) since 1967. It was in that year that Mercedes-Benz launched the coupé version of the W 114 model series which meant that customers in this traditionally high-volume segment could now choose a car with a highly distinctive character. This coupé was followed by the “C“ models of the W 123 (1977) and W 124 (1987) model series and finally the CLK (1997). The new E-Class Coupé continues a tradition that has been repeatedly met great enthusiasm throughout the history of the E-Class.

With its classic coupé side aspect, no B-pillars and fully retractable side windows, the newest coupé is a particularly sporty interpretation of the E-Class’s dynamic design. Its design is similar to the sedan version but it has its own distinct identity. Its entire front section, the more extreme interpretation of the twin headlamp face, and a more sinewy build give it a racier and more dynamic presence. Another design feature is the powerful contour of its rear wing – a styling cue which also gave the 1955 S 220 Ponton Coupé its athletic appearance.

The new E-Class Coupé is hailed the world’s most aerodynamically efficient series-production car with a drag coefficient figure of just 0.24. It is indeed the most aerodynamic variant of the coupés. It includes two new 4-cylinder engines, which consume up to 17% less fuel while offering a significant increase in performance and torque. The new coupé combines efficiency, driving enjoyment and excellent handling with maximum comfort. Its standard fit AGILITY CONTROL suspension adjusts automatically to the current driving situation. As a feature specific to the coupé, the Dynamic Driving package allows different suspension setups at the touch of a button.

The new two-door car undeniably excites the senses as it offers all the technical innovations of the new E-Class series that is expected in a sports-oriented luxury coupe. Innovations such as selective damper control, drowsiness detection, preventive occupant protection and the Active Bonnet. Adaptive Main Beam Assist and automatic emergency braking system are other features that also set the standards in this vehicle category.

Mercedes-Benz designers and engineers work together to make Mercedes-Benz cars appeal to people directly through the senses, not just rationality. The new E-Class Coupé has an emotive appeal that truly gives pride of ownership and driving pleasure.
